Parallel design architecture

The advantage of parallel design architecture is that it lets multiple designers work on the same design simultaneously without needing to partition the design. 

Parallel Dynamics. Swarm has been designed to run efficiently on parallel machine architectures. While messages within one swarm schedule execute sequentially, different swarms can execute their schedules in parallel. 

This book is divided into two parts. In Part 1 we will discuss parallel computer architectures as well as parallel computing concepts and terminology with a focus on good parallel program design and performance...

Design rules for technical architecture This defines the elements used and patterns followed systemwide for dealing with the computing infrastructure aspects of the design. It includes hardware and software platforms and tools, middleware and databases, and the choice of API standards and component architecture, such as JavaBeans or COM. These rules emerge in parallel with the activities in items 11 and 12 architecture models and implementations. 

The design and synthesis of supramolecular architectures with parallel control over shape and dimensions is a challenging task in current organic chemistry [13, 14], The information stored at a molecular level plays a key role in the process of self-assembly. Recent examples of nanoscopic supramolecular complexes from outside the dendrimer held include hydrogen-bonded rosettes [15,16], polymers [17], sandwiches [18, 19] and other complexes [20-22], helicates [23], grids [24], mushrooms [25], capsules [26] and spheres [27]. 

To facilitate a demonstration of the advantages of the 3-D architecture, we quantitatively compare metrics related to performance (e.g.. areal energy capacity, active surface area) of a conventional 2-D parallel-plate design with the 3-D interdigitated array cell (Figure 3). We assume a thin-film 2-D battery that comprises a 1-cm -area anode and cathode, each 22.5-/thick electrolyte. The total volume of electrodes and separator is 5 x 10 cm (the cell housing is ignored for simplicity, but is expected to be a comparable... 

The use of computational chemistry to address issues relative to process design was discussed in an article. The need for efficient software for massively parallel architectures was described. Methods to predict the electronic structure of molecules are described for the molecular orbital and density functional theory approaches. Two examples of electronic stracture calculations are given. The first shows that one can now make extremely accurate predictions of the thermochemistry of small molecules if one carefully considers all of the details such as zero-point energies, core-valence corrections, and relativistic corrections. The second example shows how more approximate computational methods, still based on high level electronic structure calculations, can be used to address a complex waste processing problem at a nuclear production facility (Dixon and Feller, 1999). 

Such problem tailoring requires some familiarity with the algorithmic modules. It also demands knowledge of the theoretical and practical strengths and weaknesses of the different minimization methods. With rapidly growing improvements in high-performance super and massively parallel machines,15 16 application-tailored software may be even more important in combination with parallel architectures whose design is motivated by specific applications.
